Hmm, let’s see. Here is the playbook.
Step 1) Destroy the ability of the Social Security Administration and Medicare to function effectively.
Step 2) Point to this as a reason to end it. My hero!

I can’t think of any Mexican immigrants that threaten me. I can think of a South African immigrant who is actively trying to destroy my retirement…[Read more]

“Moral purity means observance of moral norms. So, woke people can go big on purity. So can nazis. So can religious people. That doesn’t make it a bad thing, but it can get very oppressive and tiresome, to the exclusion of values like compassion.”

So says Simon and Simon sez. Hmm. Yeah i can’t subscribe to notion that it is not a bad thing. I…[Read more]

Zalts!

Gimme lots of it. Love it love it love it. But i understand if you have high BP then it is in moderation. My BP is good because i kill myself as often as possible. When i was a sedentary great big fat person practicing law it was too high.

Regular table salt often contains anti-caking agents (like sodium ferrocyanide or calcium silicate), which are synthetic additives. These could further disqualify a product from being labeled as “organic.” But even if unrefined sea salt is used, it can never be labeled 100% Organic…..salt is a mineral so can never be called an organic compound.

Enco,

Where do you come down on organic food v non?

That sunday school video about evil/stupidity is food for thought. Reg threw one right down the middle. For Bonhoeffer, a German Lutheran pastor who opposed the Nazis, and made a distinction between evil and stupidity, stupidity was more dangerous than evil. One can be stupid and yet…[Read more]

@TheEncogitationer  – Your descriptions of the various foods are good. I was reminded of Ambrose Bierce’s “The Devil’s Dictionary” which I dip into on occasion. Here.

@Unapologetic – What are freedom freckle parties?

During COVID many  people who “did their own research” decided it was a great idea to have parties so that they could get COVID and would then be able to build up their own natural immunity to the virus. As it transpired many of them  only gate-crashed Heaven. You know, religious freedom and all t…[Read more]

Oh, by all means, let’s dance if that song is on.

Unapologetic, Some clever answers, but I would go further and take on the premises behind the questions. For instance, why is the efficacy of reason to be questioned and not faith? Why does the Natural Universe need creation instead of having always existed? Can’t any prophesy be said to be true if stated vaguely e…

Well thanks Reg, sorry I was late to the party 🙂

This ain’t no party, this ain’t no disco. This ain’t no fooling around.

Well thanks Reg, sorry I was late to the party 🙂

Enco, speaking of food, I asked my waiter how they prepared the chicken here and he said “we flat out just tell ’em they are gonna die”.

As President Trump seeks to purge the federal government of “woke” initiatives, agencies have flagged hundreds of words to limit or avoid, according to a compilation of government documents.

Have a great week!

 “The principal goal of education in the schools should be creating men and women who are capable of doing new things, not simply repeating what other generations have done; men and women who are creative, inventive, and discoverers, who can be critical and verify, and not accept, everything they are offered.”

I do wonder if SCOTUS might possibly evolve a change of heart about Trump & Company?

Justice Barrett seems clearly to be signaling that nobody bought her vote.

Here’s the best layout of a presentation I’ve seen in a long time, especially from a politician. What Trump & Company has is doing must be more corrupt, even openly corrupt than any president in history.

@Reg, if you were considering adding this video to Sunday School, I will (or you can) steer readers to it, below.

@Enco, I’d love to hear your…[Read more]
